A NEW  TEAR’S  PRAYER 

No  wish  of mine  can  make  thee  glad 
As  I would  have  thee  be  ; a 

No  hope  can  touch  the  heights 
Which  my  heart  lifts  for  thee : 

No  joy  that  I may  dream  can  tell — ' 
Like  ecstacy  of  flowers  — ' 

What  my  heart  craves  for  thee 
In  this  New  Year  of ours. 

And  so,  instead,  I only  pray 
Thar  every  wish  and  hope 
T hat  God  has , for  thy  life  and  mine. 
Upon  this  New  Year’s  slope, 

May  blossom  beautiful  and  fair, 
Fulfilled  and  nobly  done ; 

And  heaven  be  nearer  by  a year 
Of  holybenison. 

Edwin  Osgood  grower 


A PRAYER  FOR  THE  NEW  YEAR 

Lord,  for  w bat  we  have  received, 
Learned  and  loved, unlearned, achieved; 
F or  our  measure  of  success , 

F aihires,  cares,  and  fears  no  less ; 

For  the  kindness  and  the  grace 
Oneachjfiendfy  human  face; 

For  the  rapture  and  the  pain 
C extern  to  be  ours  again ; isword 
T hough  Death  himself  should  dm/  his 
M.ake  us  truly  thankful,  Lord.

THE  SPiRITs^NEW  YEAR 

WISH  you  joy  on  this 
New  Tears  day,  joy  of 
new  beginnings  , of 
high,  expectations . of 
renewed,  raith  in  things  to  be. 
May  the  spirit  of  the  New  Year 
go  with  you  through  all  its  days, 
and  bring  you  many  sweet  sur- 
prises . many  hopes  realized, 
many  dreams  come  true  . If 
disappointments  or  sorrows 
or  apparent  failures  come  to 
make  you  sad . may  you  not 
spend  Gods  time  in  mourning 
but  go  on  your  way  rejoicing 
in  His  many  blessings . counting 
them  over  and  over.  lme  the  little 
child  counting  stars  - always 
beginning  but  never  ending.
